Guangdong Culture Center was established in 1956, and was once located in several different places. In the end of 2015, it was relocated to the new and current address, and now fully opens to the public after a year of trial operation.
The Center offers public cultural service throughout the year, and the new Guangdong Culture Center provides sufficient and customized venues for that, including exhibition hall, cultural and leisure district, piano room, dram creation area, dance practice area, art and calligraphy creation area, multimedia reading area, and muti-function classroom.
Fang Jianhong, Director General of the Department of Culture of Guangdong Province, pointed out in his speech at the launching ceremony of the “open day” activity, that the new Guangdong Culture Center will set a good example for the culture centers in the province and continue to provide excellent cultural service to the public.
